Verse 1:
Christ upon the mountain peak
Stands alone in glory blazing;
Let us, if we dare to speak,
With the saints and angels praise Him:
Refrain:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Verse 2:
Trembling at His feet we saw
Moses and Elijah speaking;
All the prophets and the law
Shout thro’ them their joyful greeting:
Refrain:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Verse 3:
Swift the cloud of glory came,
God proclaiming in the thunder
Jesus as His Son by name;
Nations cry aloud in wonder!
Refrain:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Verse 4:
This is God’s beloved Son:
Law and prophets fade before Him;
First and last, the only One,
Let creation now adore Him.
Refrain:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
The hymn: I gave my life for thee; is one of the greatest hymns ever written. A very spiritual and emotional hymn. I don’t sing it often enough; yet it’s one of my favorites. I suffered much for thee; more than thy tongue can tell. Of bitterest agony; to rescue thee from hell.I’ve borne, I’ve borne it all for thee. What hast thou borne for me? I’ve borne, I’ve borne it all for thee. What hast thou borne for me? Amen!
1 Peter 2:25. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. I have decided to follow Jesus; I have decided to follow Jesus; no turning back, no turning back. The cross before me; the world behind me. No turning back, no turning back.
